This year's and next. Would the Giants do it? Would you do it?

If I was GM we would know pretty quickly if the Giants would do it because I'd make that offer.

No. Teams are built through the draft. My hope is that the Rams priority will be using those picks to build the O-line up first.

No offense but this seems more like something Danny Snyder and the Skins would do.

Politely decline. Why would we surrender so much for what we've been building on under Fisher?

Eli has 1 year left on contract and career, just a guess. Plus we'll inherit his $19.7 cap hit. In turn setting us back to only a 2015 2nd, 3rd and 5th round pick as of now and no 1st in 2016 either.

We NEED to draft a QB for the future not trade for one going into his 11th season. Who know what happens with Bradford aside.

Besides under Coughlin and their GM Reese right now Eli is their best shot to compete for the NFCE again...and that's with Manning not Nassab.

Would the Giants? Probably. Should the Rams? Not a chance.

No thanks. We'd be selling the future for a name, and that never works out.

I'm surprised people think we've got a better option in the bag.

Aren't we just a QB away, mostly?

Personally, if I knew Bradford would stay healthy no way I do the deal. But... I can't fathom seeing another season down the tubes due to losing our QB. So... A deal for Manning mitigates that.

Another option I'd choose before dealing for EM, probably, is if we could get a top QB in the draft. In that scenario, I'd be okay rolling the dice with SB. But... There's no guarantee that falls into place.

So, Manning is the safest option for immediate playoff run.

Regardless; I don't see this happening.

In a word, Nope.

Fuck no. Just...fuck no. No way I give up anything for Eli, much less a two first round picks.

It's not about having a better option. It's about not setting your franchise back by giving up that much capital for no future.

If he were a free agent, sign me up. But I'm not even considering giving up two first round picks for him.

I prefer QB's that no which team to throw the ball too.

Eli Manning is an INT machine.
